Description

 Telecommunication method and telecommunication system

The present invention relates to a method for telecommunications between at least one initiator and at least one receiver, having the features of the preamble of claim 1. The invention also relates to a telecommunication system for establishing telecommunication connections between at least one initiator and at least one receiver, with the features of the preamble of claim 15.

In the present context, an "initiator" is understood to mean a natural person who wishes to actively contact another person via a telecommunications connection. "An" acceptor is understood to mean a natural person who can accept or reject the establishment of contact via a telecommunication connection. In the simple case of a telephone connection, the initiator is the caller while the recipient is the called party. In the case of SMS transmission or MMS transmission, the initiator is the transmitter while the receiver is the receiver. The same applies then for other types of telecommunications such. For example, e-mail or chat communication.

A method or a telecommunication device of the type mentioned is known for example from GB 2 427 787 A.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel way for telecommunications that, in particular, simplifies the establishment of a telecommunications link between an initiator and a receiver. This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matters of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention is based on the general idea not to initiate a telecommunications connection in a type of telecommunication by entering a telephone number or e-mail address, but by entering a, in particular alphanumeric, vehicle license plate. For this purpose, the invention proposes a system switching database which contains an association between at least one vehicle registration number of a vehicle of the respective adopter and connection data for at least one type of telecommunication telecommunication with the respective recipient for all receivers reachable via this telecommunication system. This system mediation database is expediently provided centrally for all users of the telecommunication system. Furthermore, it is expediently an open database in which each person can register as a user, ie as a potential acquirer and / or as a potential discharger, provided that it fulfills predetermined conditions, such as eg. B. unique identification, minimum age and the like.

To establish a telecommunications connection in a telecommunication type, such. As telephony, SMS, MMS, e-mail or chat, to a recipient, can now an initiator using a telecommunications device such. As a mobile phone, a landline phone, a smartphone or a computer, a vehicle registration number to a system switching device of the telecommunication system. The system switching device can then access the system switching database in order to determine the associated connection identifier for the transmitted vehicle identifier, the associated connection data matching the type of telecommunication used by the initiator. Afterwards, the sys- temvermittlungseinrichtung establish a Telekonnnnunikationsverbindung to the receiver. The acquirer can then decide whether to contact the initiator or not. The latter applies especially to the telecommunications Telefonie, while other types of telecommunications such. As SMS, MMS, e-mail and chat, the connection can already be made and completed by the fact that the respective message that initiates the contact is already transmitted by establishing the telecommunications connection, if the respective recipient the respective type of telecommunication has activated. The telecommunication connection, which is ultimately established between the initiator and the recipient, and the transmission of the vehicle identifier from the initiator to the system switching device can be made appropriately via corresponding telecommunications network operators, so-called "providers." In this case, only one telecommunication connection is required for the telecommunication between the initiator and the acceptor only one "line" occupied. Likewise, it can be provided that the telecommunication between initiator and receiver takes place via the system switching device, so that then two telecommunication connections must be set up or held, namely on the one hand between the initiator and system switching device and on the other hand between system switching device and acceptor. In this case, two lines are occupied. Again, the telecommunications links ultimately produced can be realized via telecommunications network operators expediently.

In simple terms, this means that the respective initiator does not need to know the connection data of a possible adder himself, since he can access a vehicle license plate for the purpose of establishing the telecommunication connection, which must always be visible in traffic, eg in traffic. The telecommunication system presented here thus simplifies establishing contact with persons who are alien to themselves, for example in traffic or whose vehicles participate in stationary or flowing traffic. In addition to romantic occasions, such as. As the transmission of a message to a smiling road users, there are also extremely practical opportunities for using the telecommunications system presented here. For example. For example, the driver of a vehicle blocking an exit or driveway may be notified immediately to avoid major costs, such as As the commissioning of a towing service to avoid. Furthermore, it is possible to directly contact the holder of the touched vehicle in a so-called "parking bump" in order to be able to exchange the relevant data quickly, thereby avoiding long, legally prescribed waiting times in order to reduce the risk of an unintended driver's escape. Furthermore, it is quite conceivable that children, for example, a six-digit vehicle license plate of the mother or the father can remember easier than a ten-digit phone number of a mobile phone of the mother or the father.Several useful applications of the telecommunication system presented here are, for example, dangerous situations A road user recognizes that a cargo is not properly secured in a truck or that a vehicle is sparks or is on fire.

The telecommunication connection to the receiver is expediently produced in the telecommunication type used or selected by the initiator, that is, for example via telephony. In principle, however, a change in the type of telecommunication is conceivable, for example from SMS to voicemail, that is from a written message to a spoken message. Such a change may, for example, be desired by the respective acquirer and be deposited accordingly in the system mediation database. The term "vehicle" in the present context means all possible means of passenger transport, such as automobiles, ships, airplanes, balloons, bicycles, motorcycles.

The term "connection data" in the present context, for example. Phone numbers, IP addresses and e-mail addresses are understood.

Regardless of whether the respective user has access to several vehicles or whether several users have access to the same vehicle, according to a particular embodiment it can be provided that the respective user can tell the system switching device which vehicle he is currently using or which vehicle license plate the vehicle is using he currently uses. In particular, it can be provided for this case that the respective telecommunication device of the respective adopter automatically recognizes which vehicle the respective acceptor currently uses, and informs the system switching device automatically or after confirmation by the respective acceptor. Additionally or alternatively, it can be provided that the respective vehicle or its telecommunication device automatically recognizes that it is currently being used by the respective recipient and notifies this automatically via the telecommunication device of the adopter or after confirmation by the respective recipient of the system switching device.

According to an advantageous embodiment, the system switching device can check before determining the connection data assigned to the transmitted vehicle identifier or before establishing the telecommunication connection, whether the respective initiator has authorization to use the system switching device. In this way, the data of the (registered) users of the telecommunication system can be protected against unauthorized release or use of the usage data. In particular, In particular, the respective initiator can obtain authorization to use the system definition device by registering as a user and by storing connection data of a telecommunication device in the system switching database. The system switching device can now check the usage authorization on the basis of the stored connection data of the telephone device used by the respective initiator. In this way, it can be ensured that each user is clearly identifiable, which reduces the risk of abuse.

According to another embodiment, the respective recipient can choose between an active state in which he wants to be reachable via the system switching device and a passive state in which he does not want to be reachable via the system switching device. This activation and deactivation can optionally be password protected to prevent abuse. For example. the respective acquirer may decide not to be reachable on fundamentally unfamiliar persons during professional journeys while allowing or requesting such contact for private journeys. In particular, the acquirer may set the active state and the passive state depending on whether or not he is currently using his vehicle. If the recipient has, for example, a vehicle to which other persons have access, he activates his accessibility via the vehicle registration number of his vehicle only if he also uses his vehicle. It is also conceivable that an acceptor owns or uses several different vehicles. In this case, he can activate his accessibility for the currently used vehicle and deactivate it for all other vehicles. The activation of the respective vehicle can optionally be protected with a password in order to avoid abuse.

In this context, embodiments in which a corresponding device of the respective vehicle is automatic are particularly advantageous detects that the receiver is using the vehicle, so that the active state is automatically selected, which is then set with the system switching device with or without confirmation by the recipient. For example. modern automobiles are equipped with a hands-free system, which are in contact with the mobile phone of the driver via a suitable interface, in particular Bluetooth.

In another advantageous embodiment, it may be provided that the accessibility of the adamant only with respect to initiators with normal authorization, such. B. individuals, is disabled, while the accessibility for dischargers with higher authority, z. B. officials, such as police, fire, prosecutor and the like, is not deactivated. While private individuals rather use the telecommunications system presented here for private reasons, public officials may have an overriding interest in contacting, for example. To protect the holder of the vehicle from major damage.

According to another embodiment, the respective acquirer can tell the system switching device which vehicle he is currently using or which vehicle license plate the vehicle he currently uses. The system-switching database can thus be open or flowing with respect to the vehicle registration number of the recipient, so that the (registered) recipient can always store other or additional vehicle registration numbers over which he wishes to be reachable. This is also advantageous if the recipient has no own vehicle, but uses changing rental vehicles or business vehicles. The activation of the respective vehicle can optionally be protected with a password in order to avoid abuse. Optionally, it can be provided that the respective telecommunication device of the respective adopter automatically recognizes which vehicle the respective recipient currently uses and notifies the system switching device automatically or after confirmation by the respective recipient. Such identification of the currently used vehicle can, for example. Again via a speakerphone or other telecommunications device of the vehicle done via a suitable interface such. As Bluetooth, communicate with each other and in particular also exchange the relevant for identification of the vehicle or the vehicle registration vehicle data. For example. the acquirer may deposit in the system mediation database that he / she has a first vehicle, e.g. As an automobile, and a second vehicle, for. As a sailboat used. If other users also come into consideration for their vehicles, it makes sense to inform the system switching device about which vehicle should currently be able to make contact.

In another embodiment, it may be provided that the respective vehicle of the respective adopter or an associated telecommunication device automatically recognizes that it is currently being used by the respective recipient and communicates this automatically via the telecommunication device of the adopter or after confirmation by the respective recipient of the system switching device.

Of particular advantage in this case is an embodiment in which the respective recipient of the system switching device transmits the vehicle license plate of the vehicle currently being used by sending an image of the vehicle license plate to the system switching device by means of a suitable telecommunication type, eg via MMS or e-mail in which the system switching device identifies the recipient on the basis of the connection data, wherein the system switching device evaluates the image in order to evaluate the image Identify vehicle license plate, and assigned to the determined vehicle license plate the connection data of the adversary and deposited in the system switching database.

According to another embodiment, the system switching database may be formed by linking at least one vehicle database and at least one telecommunications database. Such a vehicle database links vehicles with vehicle license plates and vehicle owners. Such a telecommunications database links persons with connection data of at least one type of telecommunication, usually telephony. With appropriate authorization, all persons who are holders of at least one vehicle and who possess at least one telecommunication device can thereby be reached via the system switching database. In order to avoid data misuse here as well, it can be provided according to a preferred embodiment that for dischargers with normal authorization, e.g. B. individuals, only those users can be reached via the system switching device that have approved the accessibility by the system switching device, which are registered users of the telecommunications system. In contrast, for initiators with higher authority, z. B. public officials, such as police and fire, any user of the system switching database on the system switching device be accessible. For initiators with a higher level of authority, the personal interests of the respective acceptor may be subordinate. In particular, it is already possible for the police to determine a vehicle owner on the basis of a vehicle registration number and to determine connection data in a separate process for the vehicle owner. However, since this is done via separate databases, the contact with the vehicle owner takes a relatively long time. This can be automated and considerably accelerated with the aid of the invention presented here. The respective initiator can transmit the vehicle license plate in the form of an image by means of a suitable type of telecommunication, eg via MMS or e-mail, to the system switching device, in which case the system switching device evaluates the image in order to determine the vehicle license plate.

Alternatively, the respective telecommunications device for inputting a vehicle registration number may have an alphanumeric keyboard, wherein the vehicle registration number is transmitted as an alphanumeric character string. The keyboard can be realized real or virtual in the form of a touchscreen.

In another alternative, the respective telecommunications device for entering a vehicle registration number may have a numeric keypad, wherein the numbers of the keyboard letters are assigned, so that the vehicle number is transmitted as a numeric number string, the system switching device from the transmitted number chain determines the possible vehicle license numbers, with the in the system switching database deposited achievable vehicle license plate compares and with only a single match the telecommunications connection automatically or after confirmation by the initiator and in several matches the telecommunication device of the initiator the matching vehicle license plate to select the right vehicle license plate ü-transmits. Simple cell phones and landline phones have only one numeric keypad, with each numeric keypad assigned several, typically three or four letters. This mapping is well-known for creating text messages (SMS) on numeric keypad phones.

The transmission of the respective character string or number string preferably takes place via SMS. Furthermore, it is conceivable to equip the respective telecommunication device with special software, which simplifies it by means of the numerical keyboard to enter a vehicle license plate. Additionally or alternatively, such a program may simplify the selection of the correct vehicle license plate with multiple matches.

Particularly advantageous is an embodiment in which the respective initiator transmits the vehicle registration number of the system switching device by using the vehicle number such as a telephone number, which may be preceded by a prefix number for selecting the system switching device, which may additionally or alternatively be provided that the vehicle registration number Furthermore, a numeric country code can be prefixed to the corresponding telephone number in order to differentiate the license plates of different countries. In this embodiment, the telecommunication system allows the use of the vehicle license plate like a telephone number, which greatly simplifies the handling of the system.

Optionally, in addition, a preselection for the respective vehicle type may be provided, in order, for example, to distinguish between road vehicles, watercraft and aircraft.

In another advantageous embodiment, the telecommunication device of the respective initiator may have a special program with which the initiator sends the vehicle identifier such as an SMS to the system switch for establishing a telephone connection, in which case the program automatically switches to a telephone mode, so that the initiator after manufacture the telecommunications connection through the system switching device can make calls without their own dialing. The program thus performs a two-step process of establishing a telephone connection, with the initiator establishing the telephone connection does not have to perform a typical dialing process, but atypically sent an SMS.

The telecommunication system according to the invention for establishing telecommunication connections between at least one initiator and at least one receiver thus comprises the system switching database and the system switching device. The system switching database can be designed to be proprietary, that is to say that it contains the coupling between vehicle identifier and connection data only for registered users. The system switch database is central so that any number of initiators can access the same system switch database to make contact with them via the vehicle flags. Furthermore, the system intermediation database is open because, under certain conditions, it is possible for any potential acquirer to register.

Alternatively, the system-switching database can also be formed by a coupling between at least one vehicle database which links vehicles with vehicle identifiers and vehicle owners, and at least one telecommunications database which links persons with connection data of at least one type of telecommunication. In this case, all vehicle owners with telecommunication equipment are automatically connectable through the system intermediation database. For example. In the system switching database, a direct assignment of the vehicle registration numbers to the connection data of the coupled databases can be stored. Alternatively, the system switching database can determine the association of the vehicle identifier with the connection data for each request of an initiator by the coupling of the databases. Alternatively, it is also possible for the system switching database, in the case of a request by an initiator, first to check whether the desired assignment of the vehicle identifier to connection data is already present in the system switching data. bank, and if so, uses the stored association to establish the desired telecommunication connection, and if no, determines the desired association by coupling or polling the databases, stores and uses to establish the desired telecommunications connection.

The present invention also manifests itself in a telecommunication device, e.g. Mobile telephone containing software for simplified communication with the system switch.

Other important features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, from the drawings and from the associated figure description with reference to the drawings.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail in the following description, wherein like reference numerals refer to the same or similar or functionally identical components.

Show, in each case schematically,

Fig. 1 is a highly simplified, pictogram-like schematic representation of a

Telecommunications system Fig. 2 is a greatly simplified schematic diagram of a schematic

System telephony database.

1, a telecommunication system 1 comprises a system switch database 2 and a system switch 3. These core components of the telecommunication system 1 are arranged in a broken line frame in FIG. 1, which effectively represents the system 1. The telecommunication system 1 serves to produce a telecommunication connection 4, indicated by a double arrow in FIG. 1, between an introducer 5 and a receiver 6. The introducer 5 has the function of a caller or message transmitter. The acceptor 6 has the function of a called party or a message recipient. It is clear that the telecommunication system 1 can in principle produce any number of telecommunication connections 4 between any number of initiators 5 and acceptors 6.

The system switching database 2 contains, for all possible users 6, an association between at least one vehicle number 7 of a vehicle 8 of the respective user 6 and connection data for at least one type of telecommunications for telecommunications with the respective customer 6. The system exchange 3 is coupled to the system exchange database 2. A corresponding operative connection is indicated in FIG. 1 by a double arrow and denoted by 9. The system switching device 3 is now configured or programmed such that, under access to the system switching database 2, it determines the associated connection data, which is suitable for the type of telecommunication used by the initiator 5, for a vehicle identifier 7 transmitted by an initiator 5 by means of a telecommunication device 10, and in the telecommunications used a telecommunications connection 4 for the mer 6 manufactures. A double arrow 1 1 symbolizes the interaction between initiator 5 and telecommunication system 1. The actual telecommunication connection 4 can basically also be produced by the telecommunication system 1. Suitably, the telecommunication system 1 for establishing the telecommunication connection 4 can access conventional telecommunication systems, such as e.g. Fixed networks, mobile networks and the Internet.

The respective telecommunication device 10 of the initiator 5, which is, for example, a mobile telephone, can translate the vehicle identifier 7 into a numerical sequence of numbers. Possibly. This number sequence can be preceded by a numeric country code, for example in order to be able to distinguish vehicle numbers from different countries. Additionally or alternatively, a numerical vehicle code can be preset, for example. In order to distinguish between different types of vehicles, such. As road vehicles, watercraft and aircraft, easier to distinguish from each other. The telecommunication device 10 now transmits this sequence of numbers of the system switching device 3. Expediently, the system switching device 3 can now be configured or programmed such that it automatically translates the received sequence of numbers into at least one vehicle identifier 7 and establishes the telephone connection with the associated receiver 6 when clearly assigned. In the case of ambiguous assignment, the system switching device 3 first transmits the vehicle license plate 7 in question to the initiator

5 as soon as the feeder 5 has selected the correct vehicle number 7, the system switching device 3 sets the telecommunication connection 4 with the associated receiver

6 ago. In this case, the initiator 5 can enter the vehicle number 7 like a telephone number in its telecommunication device 10 to initiate the desired telephone connection to the receiver 6. In an alternative embodiment it can be provided that the telecommunication device 10 is designed or programmed such that the initiator 5 uses a corresponding program which is installed and runs on the telecommunication device 10 to produce the vehicle identifier 7 such as an SMS for establishing a telephone connection the system switch 3 sent. The program then automatically switches the telecommunication device 10 into a telephone mode so that the initiator 5 can telephone after establishing the telecommunication connection 4 by the system switching device 3 without its own dialing procedure. This results in a novel way of establishing a telephone connection, namely by sending an SMS containing the vehicle registration number 7.

According to FIG. 2, according to a specific embodiment, the system switching database 2 can be formed by coupling at least one vehicle database 12 with at least one telecommunications database 13. The vehicle database 12 links vehicles 8 with vehicle registration numbers 7 and vehicle holders that correspond to potential acceptors 6. The telecommunications database 13 links persons who correspond to potential admitters 6 with connection data of at least one type of telecommunication, in particular telephony. For this purpose, the system switching database 2 has access to the vehicle database 12 in accordance with a double arrow 14 and access to the telecommunications database 13 according to a double arrow 15. The respective access 14,15 takes place at least once in order to establish the system switching database 2. Frequently, however, the respective access 14, 15 frequently takes place in order to be able to permanently update the system switching database 2.

According to a specific embodiment, the system switching database 2 can directly associate the vehicle registration numbers 7 with the connection contained data of the coupled databases 12,13. This allows a particularly rapid access or a particularly rapid association between vehicle license plate 7 and connection data. In an alternative embodiment, the system switching database 2 does not itself include the assignment of the vehicle identifiers 7 to the connection data, but recalculates them for each request of an initiator 5, namely through the coupling of the databases 12, 13. In a further embodiment it can be provided that, in the case of a request by an initiator 5, the system switching database 2 first checks whether the desired assignment of the vehicle identifier 7 to connection data is already stored in the system switching database 2. If so, the stored association can be used to establish the desired telecommunications connection. If this is not the case, the desired assignment is determined by the coupling or query of the two databases 12,13, then the determined assignment is stored in the system switching database 2 and used to establish the desired telecommunications connection 4. In the latter case, the system switching database 2 permanently learns new assignments of vehicle registration numbers 7 to connection data.

In order not to infringe data protection laws in the context of the telecommunication system 1 presented here and to protect the privacy of the users of the system 1, various measures can be implemented, some of which are explained below.

For example. For example, the system switching device 3 can check whether the respective initiator 5 has authorization to use the system switching device 3 before determining the connection data assigned to the transmitted vehicle identifier 7 or before establishing the telecommunication connection 4. Such a permission, the respective initiator 5, for example, by a Registration as a user of the telecommunication system 1 received. For this purpose, for example, a deposit of a unique identification of the initiator 5 and the deposit of connection data of a telecommunication device 10 is required, with which the initiator 5 would like to use the telecommunication system 1. The system switching device 3 can then check the usage authorization of the respectively requesting single-conductor 5 on the basis of the connection data of the telecommunication device 10 used by the respective starter 5.

On the side of the acceptor 6, the respective taker 6 can choose between an active state in which he wants to be reachable via the system switching device 3 and a passive state in which he does not want to be reachable via the system switching device 3. The restriction of the accessibility of the respective acceptor 6 can be achieved in a specific embodiment only with respect to initiators 5 with normal authorization, while a limitation of the accessibility for initiator 5 with higher-level authorization is not possible. For example, private individuals have normal authorization. Have a parent authorization z. B. officials, such as police, fire department and prosecutor. This is z. B. in the interest of the user 6 to contact him on the vehicle 8, for example, to be able to eliminate a traffic obstruction immediately without having to tow the vehicle 8 fee or remove it from damage.

In addition, further security measures, such as. As the input of a password or a personal identification number (PIN) may be provided. In the following, different possibilities for using the system 1 will be explained, on the one hand for the respective picker 6 and on the other hand for the respective starter 5.

Receivers 6, who want to use this system 1, report via a telephone, z. As mobile phone or landline phone, using a worldwide possibly uniform phone number or the Internet on an Internet access of the system 1 to register as a user. In this way, the receivers 6 of the system switching database 2 can transmit the respective vehicle registration number 7 of the respective vehicle 8, with which they are currently traveling or are usually traveling. In addition, the respective acquirer 6 enters his connection data, in particular his landline number or mobile number. An initiator 5 can register in the system 1 as a user. In order to prevent abuse, the system 1 can prescribe for this purpose that the introducer 5 reveals his identity. In particular, he must declare his consent to the telephone number transmission to the system-switching database 2.

The receiver 6 has in his (mobile) phone a special menu or program, with the help of the respective vehicle number 7 can be entered simplified. A login key then performs the activation of the respective user 6 and associates the transmitted with the help of registration vehicle number 7 with the telephone number used for this purpose. In this telephone-side program different vehicle number 7 may already be stored or stored, for. B. for a passenger car, a motorcycle or a yacht.

Alternatively, the acquirer 6 can transmit his license plate to the system 1 via SMS. In the system switching database 2, then probably the transmitted vehicle number 7 as well as the phone number from which the SMS has been sent deposited.

Alternatively, it can also be provided that the taker 6 moves with his (mobile) telephone on, onto or into a vehicle 8. Then, this vehicle 8, in particular by means of wireless communication, such. As W-LAN, Bluetooth, etc., or even wired detected that a receiving device in the transmitter radius exists. Then, either automatically or by pressing a button, the vehicle registration number 7 is transmitted to the respective (mobile) telephone. A corresponding vehicle-side telecommunication device is designated 16 in FIG. This may be e.g. to trade a hands-free device. The user-side communication in the system 1 is indicated in Fig. 1 by a double arrow 17.

On the (mobile) telephone of the user 6, a confirmation inquiry appears during this registration process, on the basis of which the user 6 can decide whether or not to automatically log in with his telephone number and the specified vehicle number 7 in the system-switching database 2.

Alternatively, it is also possible for the acquirer 6 to log on to the database 2 via the Internet by entering the telephone number and the identifier 7 via the website of the system 1.

In a further alternative, the acquirer 6 may call or invoke a voice-directed login menu of the system 1 via its respective telephone. Via voice input, the receiver 6 can then transmit the respective number plate 7 of his vehicle 8. Thus, the acceptor 6 can navigate voice-controlled. For example. can the system switching device 3 then the recorded Display vehicle identification 7 as a character set in the display of the respective telephone of the user 6 in order to query the correctness of the vehicle registration number 7. After appropriate confirmation by the recipient by a corresponding acknowledgment on the phone, the taker 6 is in the active state.

Particularly comfortable is an embodiment in which the taker 6 with the help of his (mobile) phone the vehicle number 7 of his vehicle 8 photographed and transmitted the photo together with the phone number of the system switching device 3. This is done, for example, by MMS. This procedure can be used for longer license plate 7 or flag 7, in another character set, such. Greek or Japanese, especially if that particular character set is not present on the particular (mobile) telephone or computer. The system switch 3 may analyze the photograph to identify the vehicle license plate 7. As a check, the photographed mark 7 can now be displayed as a character set in the display of the telecommunication device used by the taker 6. The confirmation of the correctness is acknowledged again on the (mobile) telephone or on the computer.

The initiator 5 are basically the same options available to log in the system 1, which are also the respective taker 6 available. In addition to a normal communication connection by telephone or Internet, the respective initiator 5 can also communicate with the system switching device 3 by means of a special program or menu which, for this purpose, runs in the telecommunication device 10 of the introducer 5. The telephone number of the initiator 5 is transmitted directly by its communication network provider to the system switching device 3 in order to avoid abuse. This caller ID agrees every system user at his first login in the system 1, even if he has otherwise turned off the caller ID. The initiator 5, however, the choice remains whether he wants to transmit his number to the recipient 6 or not. In this respect, the recipient 6 has the option of depositing in the system 1 or in the system-switching database 2 that he wishes to accept calls from initiators 5 with a suppressed telephone number or not.

If the called number plate 7 can not be clearly defined, for example because of bad readability or contamination, the system switching device 3 first determines all possible vehicle numbers 7 of all possible, currently active acceptors 6. These possible identifiers 7 are sent to the initiator 5 by the system switching device 3 Selection transmitted, z. B. shown on the display of his telecommunications device 10 or transmitted by voice. The introducer 5 can now select the correct flag 7.

If the recipient 6 accepts the call, the SMS, the MMS, the e-mail or the chat or rejects the telecommunication connection or terminates the telecommunication connection after carrying out the communication, this is done as in a conventional communication connection 4. In particular, however be provided that the system 1 the acquirer 6 before accepting, ie when establishing the telecommunication connection 4 notifies that this contact is a vehicle identifier communication of the telecommunication system 1.

The logoff from the system switching database 2 can be done analogously to the logon. It can also take place automatically when the receiver 6 moves away from his vehicle 8 sufficiently far, so that the connection between his telecommunications device (mobile telephone) and the telecommunications nikationseinrichtung 16 of his vehicle 8 is interrupted. Also, predetermined time periods can be stored in the system switching database 2, in which, for example, a rental car is rented or a vehicle 8 with season indicator is in operation. Likewise, an automatic logout occur when the respective acceptor 6 or 5 introducer the system 1 over a predetermined period of time, z. B. six months or a year, has not used.

Appropriately, System 1 works worldwide. If the initiator 5 is located within a country in which the respective vehicle 8 is registered, a country code is not required. However, if you call from abroad or call a foreign number plate in Germany, then a country code or country code is placed in front of the number plate.
